The Strongest Daughter-In-Law Of The Black Lion Family [EN]: Chapter 48

#48.

Just then, a fluffy dandelion seed, carried by the breeze, landed softly on the black gate. The seed, using its white fluff as wings, settled on the gate and swayed gently.

It was so small it should have been invisible, but it landed right on the black gate, making it stand out. Like a white weasel among black lions.

“Ah.”

At that moment, Jerakiel let out a soft exclamation. Seeing that insignificant seed, he felt he understood the origin of his fear, at least a little.

That day, Jerakiel received a flower from Chi Chi. The pure white, adorable flower was just like her. And Jerakiel felt a little dizzy from the indescribable emotion that tiny flower gave him.

Not long after the wedding invitations were sent out, Javisi’s gates had to be repaired again. Rahel, upon hearing the news of her son’s marriage, stormed in and broke the gate once more.

Zachary greeted Rahel at the gate as if he knew she was coming.

“Honestly, she’s still so full of energy.”

That comment triggered another round of insults [욕, a Korean word for curse or swear word]. They were like a former lovebird couple who fought whenever they met.

After fighting with Zachary, Rahel came to find me, looking like she was going to kill me. That’s how fierce she was.

If her aide, Keira, hadn’t intervened, I might have backed away and run.

Anyway, having heard about Rahel’s flamboyant visit, I couldn’t help but stare in amazement as she calmly flipped through dress designs in front of me.

She was furious one moment and smiling brightly like a girl the next; the contrast was too great. It wouldn’t be strange if she breathed fire again.

“They’re all pretty. Why can you only wear one wedding dress?”

Rahel was currently re-selecting my wedding dress for the ceremony. She completely ignored the fact that Zachary had already chosen one.

Rahel was quite serious. Keira’s words that she had come all this way to help me seemed to be true.

Rahel had come so urgently not because she was angry about her son’s sudden marriage, but for me, who had no family.

It was fortunate since Zachary and Jerakiel alone had their limitations.

In fact, if Rahel hadn’t come, it might have been a very bizarre wedding. As a matter of fact…….

“Goodness, trying to make you wear such a black dress for the ceremony. Is someone going to a funeral!”

Rahel frowned at the original dress list. I nodded vigorously in agreement with Rahel’s words.

Before Rahel came, my wedding dress for the ceremony was all black fabric. It was based on the absurd logic that since I was becoming a member of the Black Lion family, I had to wear a black dress.

Let’s ignore Jerakiel, who said, ‘Our Chi Chi looks good in anything.’

Looking at him, it seems like he enjoys me being in difficult situations.

Anyway, it was Rahel who saved me from having to wear a black dress because of Zachary’s insistence.

She gritted her teeth and said.

“They tried to do this at my wedding too; a Black Lion never changes its habits! I knew it.”

“I have to question Zachary’s aesthetic sense.”

“He was obviously trying to fulfill his desires by using a little kid who didn’t know anything as a bridesmaid.”

The little kid listening felt very bad.

“I should have torn up several dresses like I did back then so he could give up that greed.”

“You tore up so many dresses back then……”

Keira, who was beside her, murmured wistfully. How many dresses did she tear up? Zachary, who brought new dresses every time, doesn’t seem to be in his right mind either.

“Anyway, you, don’t worry. I’ll fix all this nonsense before the wedding.”

It was a very reliable statement, but there was still quite some time left before the wedding.

That meant she would stick around Javisi Castle and help me until the wedding.

It wasn’t something she would do for me, whom she had only met once.

Feeling my bewilderment, Rahel said awkwardly.

“It’s because I haven’t done anything for Ricky all this time.”

“Ah……”

I didn’t know what to say, so I just moved my lips.

I heard from Isla that the two divorced not long after Jerakiel humanized. She didn’t tell me the details, but judging from her reaction, something bad must have happened.

In fact, if I hadn’t read the original story, I wouldn’t have immediately realized that the two were mother and son.

Jerakiel and Rahel seemed a little too distant to be mother and son. To be exact, should I say they lived like strangers, keeping a certain distance?

‘Their relationship wasn’t exactly good in the original story either.’

Rahel was a character who appeared as Ella’s helper. She was the one who rescued Ella, who had been kidnapped by Jerakiel, and blocked Jerakiel’s work at every turn.

At the time, I just thought she was opposing Jerakiel to help Ella…….

Looking at Rahel, who was giving an awkward smile in front of me, my thoughts changed. Perhaps the way she treated Jerakiel was clumsy.

Perhaps she wanted to stop Jerakiel from becoming a villain of the continent.

It seemed that Rahel, who I thought had coldly left her young child, had her own reasons.

Her face seemed to show a fleeting sadness, but she quickly glared with a sulky face.

“And! I came because I was annoyed that you ignored my warning and suddenly decided to marry into Javisi. I’m going to see with my own eyes how well you’re doing. You’re so small, but you’re so bold!”

I, who was trying to understand Rahel in my own way, was taken aback by her shocking statement and shouted.

“Don’t call me small, don’t call me small! The small person listening feels bad!”

“What more can a small person be even if they feel bad other than a big small person?”

“Tch.”

I glared at Rahel with fierce eyes before letting out a sigh. I couldn’t dare to argue with her because she was too scary.

I didn’t know when she would suddenly go crazy and curse me until my ears bled.

As I grumbled and rolled my eyes, Rahel snorted and chuckled.

At that moment, Keira, who was beside her, joined the conversation.

“Excuse me, miss. Are you saying you’re going to stay here until the wedding?”

“That’s right.”

“But if the leader finds out, he’ll be furious. Even the remarriage that the leader arranged…….”

It was that moment. Rahel flashed her eyes and coldly said.

“Watch your mouth, Keira. That’s already over.”

In an instant, the surroundings became as cold as an ice rink. I rolled my eyes at Rahel’s cold reaction.

‘Did she just say remarriage?’

I blinked my eyes at the sudden news of remarriage.

‘That’s strange. Rahel was alone in the novel.’

Rahel, the precious youngest daughter of a family, maintained a luxurious life even after her divorce. She was even more free-spirited because she didn’t need to inherit the family since she already had three older brothers.

She was born with a talent for business and ran a family trading company. It was truly a wise single life, and readers supported Rahel.

Moreover, thanks to her outstanding beauty, there were quite a few males around her. It was just a pity that she had no interest in that kind of thing at all.

At the time, Rahel was only focused on her work and interfering in Jerakiel’s affairs at every turn.

Such Rahel was looking into remarriage?

It was unheard of. She was a person who always said that she would rather live alone and never get married again.

Could it be that the original story I knew has changed?

Well, now that Ella has disappeared without a trace, there is no guarantee that Rahel will not change.

The original story did not go into detail about Rahel’s situation, who was just a helper to the female lead. Therefore, it was impossible to know whether the current situation existed in the original story.

I was making a serious expression when I felt a persistent gaze and looked at Rahel. Then she threatened.

“Don’t tell Zachary or Jerakiel. It’s already over, and my father is doing it on his own.”
